Movie Reviews and Previews Go into the matrix to find the apple Sarah emailed me the new trailer for Michael Fassbender’s Assassin’s Creed this morning. “Jesus Christ, does anyone understand this premise?

Movie Reviews and Previews Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard in Allied Marion Cotillard went into promotion on Assassin’s Creed right after Allied. Allied has not performed well at the box office.

Movie Reviews and Previews Your Friendly Baby Spider-Man Among superhero movies, Spider-Man has produced among the best (Spider-Man 2) and worst (Spider-Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man 2) examples of the genre. So the three-boot of the franchise, Spider-Man: Homecoming, has to at the very least not suck like the Amazing movies, and at best, hopefully match or even top By Sarah • Dec 09, 2016 10:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Emma & Ryan’s weekend Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were immortalised together in Hollywood the other day.

BFFs Missing Taylor Swift The premiere of Office Christmas Party last night in LA. Jennifer Aniston and Katy Perry were both there. And hanging out together. Which of course is notable because of John Mayer. Obviously he's not a factor. Which is how it should be. PS Jennifer and Gwyneth are also By Lainey • Dec 08, 2016 12:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Rock and Zac Efron have muscles That is the takeaway from the Baywatch trailer. Lots of slow-motion beach running. Lots of shirtless dudes and half-naked women. Lots of abs. So many abs. What storyline? All the abs. The trailer dropped this morning and it’s exactly what I expected from a Baywatch remake starring Dwayne The By Kathleen • Dec 08, 2016 11:30 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa 2 This week I am attempting to watch all of the holiday-centric new releases and so far, while I haven’t hit the low of Love The Coopers, I also haven’t seen a seasonal gem like The Night Before.

TV Updates Katie’s upcoming birthday Katie Holmes is promoting the film she directed, All We Had. The premiere was last night.

Maple Leaf Ryan’s “first day out” La La Land Hollywood premiere last night. La La Land, as you know, is a frontrunner for Best Picture, in a tight race right now with Moonlight and, maybe, Manchester By The Sea although I feel like Manchester’s big hope might be Casey Affleck, the alleged sexual harasser.

Dumbass Matt Damon misses the point Matt Damon and the cast of The Great Wall were in Beijing yesterday to promote the film.

Movie Reviews and Previews More Wahlberger Robot Nonsense I am trying desperately to remember anything about the last Transformers movie, but it’s giving me a headache, because the only thing I clearly remember about that movie was that it gave me a headache.

Maple Leaf Jessica Chastain in Toronto Jessica Chastain loves to work, and she’s amazing at her job.
